    Insurer Privilege Underwriters took its name too far trying to obtain privileges from the Arkansas Court of Appeals to which it was not entitled and acted contumaciously by disobeying the Circuit Court’s discovery order.

    In Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange v. Brandon Adams, No. CV-23-474, 2024 Ark.App. 571, Court of Appeals of Arkansas, Division I (November 20, 2024) the circuit court granted appellee Brandon Adams’s motion to enforce court order and motion for sanctions, imposed a “sanction fee in the amount of $5,000” against appellant Privilege Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange (“Privilege”), and awarded Adams $2,500 in attorneys’ fees and costs under Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 37; denied Privilege’s motion for summary judgment; and denied Privilege’s motion for protective order, which sought to bar Adams from taking any depositions.

    FACTS

    In an insurance-coverage action in which Adams sued Privilege, his insurer, for failing to provide him a defense in a lawsuit filed against Adams and several other individuals and entities. Privilege answered Adams’s coverage complaint denying that it owed Adams a duty to defend the lawsuit and asserting a number of the subject policies’ exclusions as affirmative defenses to coverage.

    Adams served written discovery on Privilege. Privilege responded with objections and inadequate responses to Adams’s discovery requests. Adams moved to compel Privilege to respond and produce documents and the Court of Appeals ordered Privilege respond and to pay Adams’s attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $2,000.

    Privilege produced its supplemental interrogatory answers and supplemental privilege log on March 2, 2022 but did not comply with the circuit court’s discovery order.

    Contrary to the court’s order Privilege refused to amend its privilege log, provide full and complete answers to Adams’s interrogatories, or produce any witnesses for deposition, and instead, Privilege moved for summary judgment.

    Adams then filed his “Motion to Enforce Court Order and Motion for Sanctions and Incorporated Brief” on April 25, 2022.

    On December 20, 2022, the circuit court held a hearing on Adams’s motion for sanctions and Privilege’s motions for summary judgment and for protective order. The circuit court announced that it would sanction Privilege for its failure to comply with the circuit court’s February 2022 discovery order. From the bench, the circuit court made specific findings that Privilege had failed to comply with the provisions of that order requiring Privilege to amend its privilege log to provide sufficient information to allow the circuit court and Adams to evaluate Privilege’s claims of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection and to fully answer Adams’s interrogatories.

    TO ESTABLISH CONTEMPT

    Generally, in order to establish contempt, there must be willful disobedience of a valid order of a court. Contempt is a matter between the court and the litigant, and not between the two opposing litigants. Before one can be held in contempt for violating the court’s order, the order must be definite in its terms, clear as to what duties it imposes, and express in its commands. Contempt is divided into criminal contempt and civil contempt. The standard of review on appeal depends on whether the contempt sanction was civil or criminal in nature.

    The circuit court imposed a fine and fees that were to be paid to Adams. A contempt fine for willful disobedience that is payable to the complainant is remedial and therefore constitutes a fine for civil contempt.

    Privilege refused to comply with a valid discovery order from the circuit court because Privilege disputed Adams’s entitlement to the discovery underlying that order. Instead, Privilege moved for summary judgment, attempting to render moot that prior discovery order. The circuit court rightly held Privilege in contempt for its willful disobedience of the circuit court’s February 2022 discovery order and imposed a fine of $5,000. Once the February 2022 discovery order was entered, Privilege was required to comply with that order, not question the propriety of that order or when Privilege should comply with it.

    The circuit court was unequivocal in finding at the December 2022 hearing that it was sanctioning Privilege for its violation of the February 2022 discovery order. The circuit court then went on to explain that Privilege had disobeyed its February 2022 order by failing to provide contact information for the witnesses identified in response to Interrogatory No. 1 and by failing to provide a privilege log with sufficient information to allow the circuit court and Adams to evaluate the claim of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection.

    Thus, the Court of Appeals held that the circuit court did not clearly err in holding Privilege in contempt. The circuit court had ample authority to use its contempt powers to enforce its February 2022 discovery order.

    ZALMA OPINION

    This order must be more than embarrassing to Privilege and to the insurance industry. Parties to litigation are not entitled to refuse to fulfill an order of the court. Regardless of the name of the insurer it had no special privileges and must fulfill the order to the letter and pay the sanctions including the extra sanctions placed by the Court of Appeals.

  • Occam’s Razor

    Exclusion for Work Performed by Insured Defeats Claim for Construction Defects
    Post 4935

    Read the full article at https://lnkd.in/gT_NsMHv, see the full video at https://lnkd.in/gqkPHYbp and at https://lnkd.in/gEEXkUe3, and at https://zalma.com/blog plus more than 4900 posts.

    The question presented to the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals was whether a contractor’s CGL insurance policy covers general damage to a non-defective part of the contractor’s project resulting from a subcontractor’s defective work on a different part of that project.

    APPLICATION OF OCCAM’S RAZOR

    The analysis technique that proposes that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex.

    FACTUAL BACKGROUND

    Applying Massachusetts law, the district court concluded that Admiral had no duty to defend Tocci in Admiral Insurance Company, Starr Indemnity & Liability Company, Great American Assurance Company v. Tocci Building Corporation, Tocci Residential LLC, John L. Tocci, Sr., No. 22-1462, United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit (November 8, 2024) and Tocci appealed.

    From 2013 to 2016, Tocci was the construction manager for an apartment project owned by Toll JM EB Residential Urban Renewal LLC (“Toll”). There were several work quality issues and delays on the project, and Toll eventually terminated Tocci in March 2016 for alleged mismanagement of the project.

    Toll sued with allegations regarding instances of defective work leading to property damage. The allegations included defective work by Tocci’s subcontractors resulting in various instances of property damage to non-defective work on the project, including (1) damage to sheetrock resulting from faulty roof work; (2) mold formation resulting from inadequate sheathing and water getting into the building; and (3) damage to a concrete slab, wood framing, and underground pipes resulting from soil settlement due to improper backfill and soil compaction.

    DUTY TO DEFEND

    Tocci sought defense and indemnity coverage under the Admiral insurance policies. Admiral denied coverage.

    The district court granted Admiral’s motion on duty to defend because the damage alleged in Toll’s complaint did not qualify as “property damage” as defined in the policy because the allegations consisted entirely of damage at Tocci’s own project.

    ANALYSIS

    The First Circuit considered three steps to the coverage analysis: (1) Do the damages alleged in the action fall within the scope of coverage?; (2) if so, do the exclusions to coverage apply?; and (3) if so, do any exceptions to the exclusions apply?

    The First Circuit noted that there is a sharp split of authority on whether damage to non-defective work resulting from a subcontractor’s defective work constitutes “property damage” or is caused by an “occurrence.” The First Circuit decided to avoid the issues of what constitutes “property damage” by focusing on the exclusions which were sufficient to resolve the complete dispute.

    THE HOLDING

    There are two “Damage to Property” exclusions that provide that there is no coverage for “property damage” to: that particular part of real property on which you or any contractors or subcontractors working directly or indirectly on your behalf are performing operations, if the ‘property damage’ arises out of those operations; or that particular part of any property that must be restored, repaired or replaced because “your work” was incorrectly performed on it.

    The First Circuit, applying Occam’s Razor, focused its analysis on the exclusion it concluded covers the allegations in the Toll complaint. Since the complaint alleges damage resulting from Tocci’s “incorrectly performed” work on the entire project “[t]hat particular part of any property that must be restored, repaired or replaced because ‘[Tocci’s] work’ was incorrectly performed on it” refers to the entirety of the project where Tocci was the general contractor charged with supervising and managing the project as a whole.

    Therefore, the First Circuit concluded that Admiral met its burden of establishing that the Toll action only alleges damage falling within the exclusion and that there was no exception to that exclusion that applied.

    ZALMA OPINION

    This is a case of a court applying Occam’s Razor, by picking an easy and obvious solution – the application of an exclusion – and avoiding the problem of different court rulings on coverage about “property damage” and “occurence.” Since the exclusion clearly applied there was no duty to defend.

  • THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S GUARANTEE TO PROTECT THE STATES AGAINST INVASION

    The federal government has willfully abandoned its duty to defend the states – and the citizens who reside within them – from the ongoing invasion. However, states possess the authority, right now, to remedy Washington’s abrogation of its Guarantee Clause obligations.

    Every member of the Federal "government," it's contractors and agencies, as well as the Congress is guilty of Treason and it is time for action to be taken against them ALL!

    The #BorderPatrol is complicit in these crimes as well as organizations like "Catholic Charities and other "religious organizations" who get paid from federal funds OR through NGO's to bring illegals into our country!

    And, of course, the NGO's who are funding the invasion, helping to transport the illegals, and even paying for ADVERTISING PROMOTING TRAVEL TO THE UNITED STATES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES!

    The biggest issue we have is supposed "Federal Prosecutors" who have failed to uphold their Oath to "Faithfully execute the duties of their office," and have refused to prosecute offenders and violations against Federal Law.

    Such as Title 18 U.S.C., Section 241 - Conspiracy Against Rights AND
    Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 - Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law

    As well as cases of #Treason and other violations of the Constitution by Political Parasites, #Police, #DOJ, and #FBI

    Making these Federal Prosecutors COMPLICIT in these crimes themselves!

    It's time for the American People to convene COMMON LAW Courts and try these criminals and traitors in open proceedings.

    Of course one of the biggest problems, and threats, that we face are those who call themselves "Law Enforcement" while completely and totally IGNORING and VIOLATING their own Oath to "Protect and defend the US Constitution"

    As they violate the Constitution themselves by violating the Inalienable Human Rights of Americans because they are unthinking, uncaring, narcissistic "Order Followers" incapable of standing in TRUTH!

    And going against their commanding structures to uphold their oaths!

    It's PATHETIC! And they grow worse with every passing day!

    If these clowns with costumes and badges upheld their Oaths our country would ALREADY BE FIXED! But instead they stand as
    "Defenders of Tyrants and Criminals"

    The Federal Government’s Guarantee to Protect the States Against Invasion
    Executive Summary The United States is facing an unprecedented crisis along its southern border with Mexico. Violent transnational criminal organizations control large swaths of the border. Nearly two million illegal immigrants were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in the last year. Another estimated 400,000 individuals evaded authorities and disappeared inside the interior of the country. Federal agents have seized record amounts of fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamines, and record numbers of Americans have died from drug overdoses and opioid poisonings. Local jurisdictions face serious strains on their resources, such as contending with crime, burdens on community resources, and exploding student numbers,…

  • THINK about that for a minute! A "passport."

    NO MAN has any more rights than another man.... So how is that MEN can delegate "authority" they DON'T HAVE to other men?

    There's nobody who legitimately has the right to tell me I can / cannot cross a #Border! And that's the problem with our CORPORATE Government!

    They ACT as if their existence and actions are "authorized by the people." But "The People" never had the authority to to do the things that governments do! So how can those people give away authority they don't have?

    NO MAN was born with the authority to prohibit someone from crossing an imaginary line on God's Earth!

    So how is it that "government" was supposedly granted this right???

    You CANNOT delegate rights that you DON'T HAVE to other people or govt.!

    Our "government" is NOT a government anyway! It's a CORPORATION!
    But this is a pretty fundamental question!

    I mean certainly you have the right to protect YOUR PROPERTY!

    But you DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT to prohibit anyone from passing through it!
    Either through or around that is

    The concept of a #Passport way exceeds anything government was ever authorized to do! Arguably they have the duty to DEFEND the Border!

    But to TELL ME THAT I CANNOT LEAVE THIS CAGE???
    I don't think so!

    I'm not in Prison, I can go wherever the f*ck I wanna go!
    As long as I harm no other people financially or physically!

    This is YHWH's Earth, not the government's!
    Who are they to tell me that I'm confined to this land mass???

    That I need PERMISSION to leave!!!
    GTFOOH!

  • “The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation – enlightened as it is – if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men.”

  • Nimitz Commander Says It’s His Ship’s Duty To Defend Us From UFOs
    Will Smith’s Independence Day character, Captain Steven Hiller, may have retired from the Marines, but one military man is still committed to fighting UFOs and UAPs, whether they’re carrying invading aliens or not. This is definitely a military man to be reckoned with because he’s the new commander of the USS Nimitz, which received fame of the third kind when it was revealed that pilots from the carrier had encountered what is now known as a Tic Tac UFO in 2004. Does Captain Max Clark have secret information … and who will play him in the movie?
